You could ...
* ask them if they are blocking 123/UDP and if they have a time server
for their customers to use
* start ntpd (on your system) and nmap your port 123/UDP from some
external location
* start ntpd and use a web-based tool to attempt to contact your ntpd:
- http://ntp.isc.org/ntpq.php will query the IP address you are
browsing from
- http://www.vanheusden.com/query_ntp.php will query any IP
address
* use 'ntpdate -u <list of time servers>' to see of you can contact
those time servers over an unpriviledged port; then try again without
the '-u'

OK ... that's one option off the table.

If you've not let your ntpd ever run long enough to create the drift
file, ten minutes is too soon,
If you can't get the port opened there are a couple of options:
1. Run your own local ref-clock (e.g. GPS, WWVB, etc.)
2. Use cron to run ntpdate (with '-u') periodically
3. Use HTP (HTTP Time Protocol) which works over port 80
